About

Repair a document that many agent sessions have edited so it reads to a cold reader — one holding only the doc and what it points at. Hunts ghosts of things the repo no longer has, pointers that don't resolve, changelog prose written as a change instead of a state, one thing under two names, undefined terms, arguments with a reader who has left, caches the tree has moved from, and contradictions between layers; repairs proved by lookup land directly, and only what no lookup settles is asked. Use when the user asks to clean up, sweep, or cold-read a doc, or after a doc has absorbed several rounds of agent edits.

Use cases: documents, agent-building
